Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far, this has been a good purchase option for the iPad 8th generation I have. Someone recommended the Apple Pencil 2nd generation at Best Buy but didn't exactly know what they were talking about with its compatibility. I could not get the 2nd generation to work with my iPad so I came and exchanged it for the 1st generation and it works amazingly!

Samsung did a great job with their S-pen but left their patrons out to dry by only supporting the once-a-year note phone refreshes while ignoring higher quality tablet stylus options. Enter the Apple Pencil with additional features to take over the market. The S-pen doesn't need a charge which is still a game-changer but the Apple Pencil has great levels of touch sensitivity and shading. Like any Apple product you'll need to accessorize it. I find that Pentel mechanical pencils have a clip that will fit + I've dissected about 2-3 pens to get grips that can be placed on my Pencil. I would not advise anyone to charge their Pencil by sticking it into their tablet. Buy the TechMatte Apple Pencil Charging Adapter for a dedicated cable and the PencilCozy for Apple Pencil to protect the cap. I also purchased a hard shelled case to hold my Apple Pencil and charging cable--the same thing that any artist or person with an expensive pen would do to protect their purchase. The Pencil is magnetized and will stick to the device but that doesn't protect the Pencil. I've been using procreate a few other art programs and I must say painting is great and sketching is with less distractions since mistakes can be erased and there is no off-set when resuming a line. An eraser feature would be helpful as well as a feature such as not needing to charge the Pencil but lack of those features is not a deal-breaker, especially for those who realize real art supplies have similar drawbacks (limited use before replacing and separate erasers, which aren't even possible for real life painting). Be young and gather ye rosebuds while ye may! Rest assured the next edition of the Pencil will be better, but do not wait a year to buy this wonderful product to use with your iPad Pro.

I love my pencil I use it everyday making notes. Great battery life and easy to sync with blue tooth.

Lasting battery. Charges fast works well. Can charge on phone

I purchased the iPad Pro for my daughter's, the pen was the selling point. No lag at all, works well.

i'm not a professional using this, but it is fun for coloring apps and taking notes. very accurate

have bought other stylus pens before, but the Apple Pencil really meets expectations! Its very accurate and smooth as you write, draw, or color throughout the tablet in any app.

I like the pencil, but for the price tag, i wish it came with a sleeve or grip. That would be a major upgrade for artists and people that use it for extended periods of time.

I like the responsiveness of the pencil. Feels great in the hand, let's me write instead of type.

I received this as a Christmas gift from my husband because I use an iPad to teach and correct. It does interface with my grading app so it functions as a better than average stylus. However, I cannot use it to notate on my iBooks or Pages and similar apps. I had to download notability for classroom presentations and pay for PDF Reader Pro to be able to edit/comment on documents. It is pretty expensive for a fancy stylus. I watched some online videos but don't think it is worth the price for my use.

Looks cool and easy to use. It charges easily by connecting it to the charging port of an iPad.

Great for school. Easy to use and charge. Love it for my iPad

Apple pencil is very responsive and works well. Easy to charge on-the-go using the port on your iPad.

Great little Apple Pencil, of course! I wish it came with a case or some kind of protection for the tip when it's not in use. The older versions of the iPad don't have any way to hold the pen so the pen ends up laying around until I can figure out how to velcro it to the side of the iPad or something. It's a little pricey but works better than the less expensive one we bought last year.

This is a great pencil if you own an iPad that isn’t compatible with a Generation 2 Apple Pencil. I was hesitant at first between this and a much cheaper alternative, but the quality is exceptional. Works great for drawing, although a paper feel screen protector is recommended to hash out any gliding/slipperiness (that goes for any pencil though)

A great accessory but it has its limitations which makes it a non essential accessory especially if you are not into sketching. Like for some reason the pencil will not pull down the notifications from the top. In some website it will not work as well so you have to touch the screen with your finger to select the option. I still recommend it but it is a little pricey maybe if it was around 50$ that would be the sweet spot.

I love this pencil. I got tired of buying stylus, so I bought this. Some things I find it easier to use my finger, but this works awesome for many things- cards, drawing, signing my name. You’ll see. I’m very glad I bought this. I even found a charger I can stick it in to charge and not connect it to my iPad.

Works great, easy to use, makes using Ipad much easier. Pretty pricy though.

Easy to use; worth it! It is great for taking notes, highlighting info

The Apple Pencil for iPad Pro is a great for note taking and drawing. I am very please with the product.
